Kentucky plane crash

Airplane type grounded after deadly crash in Kentucky

The major American delivery companies UPS and FedEx will keep their MD-11 aircraft on the ground after this week's fatal accident in Kentucky, writes AP. The order is said to have come from manufacturer Boeing and is described as a precautionary measure.

Nine percent of UPS's delivery aircraft are of that model and for FedEx it is about four percent, according to the companies.

It is not yet clear why the plane caught fire and crashed into a building as it was about to take off. A total of 14 people died in the crash, most of whom were on the ground.

The car camera caught the plane crash on film

Shortly afterwards, some people are seen running from the scene.
